APPENDIX C - PROGRAM MAPS

(Vocational Program Outcomes & Essential Employability Skills Outcomes)

Vocational Program Learning Outcomes:

Form 1(attached) is provided to assist you in mapping your proposed program vocational learning outcomes against existing vocational outcomes found in either Provincial Program Standards or in Provincial Program Descriptions.

Where there is a relevant Provincial Program Standard, the approved Vocational Learning Outcomes must appear in the first column, followed by your proposed program vocational learning outcomes.

Where there are no Provincial Program Standards, the first column will contain program outcomes from the Provincial Program Description. Again, your proposed program vocational learning outcomes will be added in the middle column.

NOTE:Both these types of documents can be obtained from staff at the CVS or at the Colleges Branch, MTCU.

The last column will contain a list of the relevant curriculum proposed in your program to address the outcome in a manner that ensures the graduate will have reliably demonstrated the required skill or ability. Course numbers or course codes, corresponding to those provided in your list of courses (Appendix C), are sufficient in this column.

Essential Employability Skills Outcomes:

A mapping of the Essential Employability Skills (EES) will be done on Form 2 (attached).

The instructions / requirements for this map are the same as for the Vocational Program Map. The first three columns contain the approved skill categories, the defining skills, and the EES learning outcomes. The last column will contain the proposed curriculum (as listed in Appendix C) that will ensure the meeting of these outcomes.
